What is emptiness?

Is it the dreary feeling of being alone? The unexplainable sorrow you feel in an empty abandoned house? Or is it the simple feeling of being empty? The feeling you get when you are by yourself, Not necessarily a sad kind of feeling, But a happy one. Is it the way the cool air makes you feel as you take a simple walk in the morning? You’re mind is clear, You’re heart is happy, Maybe it is the peace of mine that comes from being empty. No stresses, or worries?

Sometimes beautiful.

Sometimes boring.

Emptiness can be a curse.

But in some cases, a cure.
